I work out of my truck in the oil and gas so my truck is running all day in park , occasionally I’ll have to step out of my truck for a few mins and return. But there has been times I missed a random test either because I’m asleep or can’t get back to my truck in time but I’ll get back within 10-15 mins and retest and pass. And it happens at least 1 time every other week or week and so frustrating. Can they see if the truck has moved or not and waive them ? I just don’t want to get screwed on the long run with red flags

Is there any chill discord servers for blue collar folk? If not would anyone want to join one if I created a server ? Just a place for anything blue collar to connect and show off work. Shoot the crap and game or whatever

So me 25m and my GF 26F have been together 5 years. I’d say our relationship is very good and we truly love each other and I know she’d say the same. The biggest issue I have is her mother 45F. She acts like a child with toxic relationships since the day I met her. She’s been thru 4 divorces in the last 15 years and after every divorce she tries to take everyone to the cleaners trying to get money and land and what not. Her mother brainwashed my GF into thinking he wants nothing to do with her when in reality he was always trying to reach out( Amazing man btw , I can only hope to behalf the man he is) he died 2 years after reconnecting and I learned a lot of her mother when I was already iffy.
When we were fresh in our relationship she had a bf , they’ve been together for about 6 months. He was a bum 46M no job , no car , living in an apartment working at some small construction company. They would always argue to the point where he’d leave her mom on the side of the rd and it became a weekly 2am phone call to go and pick her up on the side of the highway as she cries about how she’s gonna leave him . I then had my last straw when he put his hands on her in my truck and I kicked him out , beat him up on the side of the road and left him. I swore that was it and she’d finally leave him, but little did I know it was only the beginning.
He would call my gf grandma telling her I have tattoos and drink alcohol trying to make me the black sheep in order for them not to like me ( they weren’t fooled and still love me for who I am since they are very Christan ) and would occasionally call me threatening me while her mother is taking his side and telling my girlfriend she should leave me. I’m not perfect , I work in oil and gas , own my own ranch , great wage and I never have to worry about layoffs like most.
Fast forward me and my gf move out of state , bought a new property , opened up my new business in a new small/ medium size town building a name for myself and her mom followed.
She had left that man and was doing better. But she met another dude. And it’s starting all over again. It’s been a slippery slope and it’s like I’m living In Déjà vu. To the point to where me and my gf don’t even go and pick her up when they fight , or try and stay away. Her mother will not leave this dude and my girlfriend will hangout with them still when I’m not around because it’s her mother ( which I understand ) but he’s always there, and I get worried AS FUCK since if something was to happen I can’t even go and help due to me working out of state. The conversation of not wanting him anywhere near my property or around her is a really touchy subject because she wants to be with her mom since that is literally the only family she has left. In no way shape or form does she act like her mother and she’s just a sweet soul and we truly love each other. But her mom continues to sucker her in by buying her things and taking her to places and I just don’t know what to do about it. So I come here for advice and what I should do. I don’t want her going around town creating a negative image where police being called to their residence for domestic and noise affecting the good image in the town I worked my butt off to be apart of.

Also I’m sorry if this seems more like a vent than advice but hoping you can see where I come from. Thanks

25M , and I own 5 acres . Not significantly a huge piece of property but good for myself and wife. I have a “ friend “ well more of a mutual friend. And he wants to start a business of renting trailers and has no where to store the trailers so he asked me. I said yes if I was able to use them here and there ( I have my own but these are more specialty trailers hyd. Tilt / equipment haulers ) with a deal that when I use it the trailers won’t be rented out. Both agreed.
Well I had a truck of mine go down and asked for help to change the transmission and he threw out “ pay me $500 and I’ll help” but then I’ll throw the “ I have your trailers on my property “ and he kind of backs down and actually helps me
He’d also asked for $500 later on to go retrieve a trailer a customer left on the side of the road when rented and when I asked why he stated “ I helped you with your transmission and you use the trailers “ and he constantly tried to get money out of me when he obviously has money ( his wife’s a doctor and his family paid all his debts off and his income is very well) I then told him to come pick the trailers up in 48 hrs or they will be left outside the gate and he won’t have access in. Am I the asshole ?
